Dr. Leana Wen named Hospital Hero by U.S. News and World Report

Mullan Institute Visting Professor and Distinguished Fellow, Dr. Leana Wen, was named Hospital Hero by U.S. News and World Report for her efforts in fighting the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday, July 28, 2020. Dr. Wen has been visible throughout the pandemic, appearing on cable news and writing for The Washington Post on topics like how people can minimize their risk of infection now that businesses are reopening. Wen and other public health leaders outside of government have accused the Trump administration of disregarding medical expertise throughout the U.S. response to COVID-19. With little cohesion among states, she has stepped up to help Americans make sense of the crisis.
